SEFTON COUNCIL MEMBERS' ALLOWANCES - 2008 - 2009

Sefton Council's Scheme of Members' Allowances is made under powers conferred by Section 174 of the Local Government Act 1972, Local Authorities (Members' Allowances) (England) Regulations 2003.

The Special Responsibility (SRA) and Basic Allowances are shown as gross amounts, but the allowances are subject to Income Tax and National Insurance Contributions, and therefore Members receive a net amount.

The payment amounts and terms of the scheme are those recommended by an Independent Remuneration Panel, consisting of three non-councillors. Recommendations from the Independent Remuneration Panel have been considered by the Council's Standards Committee, consisting of councillors and non-councillors, and subsequently by the full Council.

The scheme is intended to recognise the time commitment of Councillors, and is designed to ensure Members are not placed at a financial disadvantage whilst serving the residents of Sefton. All councillors receive a standard basic allowance to cover basic duties and all Council-business travel within the Borough. In addition, there are a number of Special Responsibility Allowances to reflect additional responsibilities.

Members may be nominated to represent the Council on outside bodies, such as the Merseyside Police Authority, Fire and Civil Defence Authority etc and may receive further allowances from these bodies. Further details are available from the individual body.

The following statement shows only the payments that have been paid by Sefton Council during 2008/2009.
